Steam now has over 75 million active users

Steam has pushed its influence and expanded greatly over a very prosperous year. Since last October, when the digital distribution service had reported 65 million active users, the number has spiked dramatically pulling in 10 million new customers alone over a two and a half month period. The new tally stands at 75 million users, as Valve reports from Steam Dev Days.

Steam now has over 75 million active users, a significant jump from the 65 million Valve reported last October. The news was shared with attendees of the company’s inaugural Steam Dev Days conference today.  While Valve invited few to no card-carrying reporters to the conference — presumably to help foster the “relaxed, off-the-record environment” advertised — attendees seem to be posting significant excerpts of the various talks to Twitter using the hashtag #SteamDevDays.
